This work is about the war memorial in Hyde Park. The sculpture in the war memorial was design by Rayner Hoff the creator of the holden logo. What most people don't realise was there was another more elaborate sculpture intended for the memorial as well but the catholic church thought it offensive and stepped in to influence the government and make sure it wasnt installed.So the work explores the influence of the church in this age on nudism - which is quite different to when Michelangelo did the Sistine Chapel. The work also includes imagery from the period with art deco symbolism.
Acrylic on canvas. 1.7 wide x 1.83 high.
